“Louis was an outstanding champion for diversity and inclusion in the time we worked together at Nielsen. He embodied owning diversity and inclusion in his work even though supplier diversity was not part of his official job description. With Louis' engagement and initiative, we were able to establish a baseline for diverse supplier representation within the universe of some of our company's most strategic third party partners. We would not have expanded our diversity visibility into this important part of our ecosystem without Louis' diligence. He has also been a personal advocate for diverse suppliers. His advocating on behalf of these suppliers is the real work of supplier diversity- identifying viable diverse suppliers, and introducing them to his professional contacts. For more than a year, he was on calls with client business teams, our procurement organization, and our global responsibility organization to foster beneficial and strategic relationships between our company, our clients, and the suppliers he worked with. He's a true professional, and a genuine pleasure to work with.”
